I just noticed a new product at Whole Foods. The store is now selling—under its house 365 Organic label—different varieties of organic beans (already cooked) in 13.4-ounce BPA-free boxes. The boxes are very convenient when picnicking or eating while traveling.

These boxes further add to the market's line of ready-to-eat beans (organic and non-organic), all of which are cheaper than name brands.

Whole Foods now offers:

Non-organic beans in 15-ounce cans for $0.89

Organic beans in 15-ounce cans for $1.29

Organic beans in 13.4-ounce boxes for $1.49

The Whole Foods cans do contain BPA in their linings, so if one is looking for organic beans in BPA-free cans, Eden is the option ($2.39 or $2.49) for a 15-ounce can.

Thanks for answering my question, which I googled! I do wonder why they don't put BPA free on the box anywhere? These are so much more cost effective than Eden's beans, which are in BPA free cans. Peace!

I have looked everywhere online to verify the 365 organic beans in boxes are bpa free, and I can't find anything either on the whole foods or SIG combisafe page. I am doubting that you are correct. Could you please reveal how you learned these are bpa free?Much appreciated.
